2. Fluid therapy.
Objective : to replete intravascular volume.
Condition : haemorrhage, vomiting, diarrhoe, excessive diuresis,
inadequate fluid intake and redistribution of
fluid out of the vascular space intravascular volume
depletion hypotension inadequate organ perfusion.
Target : clinical sign of inadequate perfusion no longer evident or
CVP (central venous pressure) 12 15 mmH2O especially
brain.
Until BP reached adequate organ perfusion.
Fluid replacement : isotonic solution (normal saline, R.Lactate,etc),
colloid ( albumin, dextran, plasma expander ) or blood
component.

6. Pulmonary embolism
7. AVOIDING ;
DRUG-INDUCED COMPLICATION.
- multiple pharmacotherapy / polypharmacy interaction.
- to minimise :
a. consider the effects of the presence of organ dysfunction
on pharmacokinetics and adjust initial drug doses;
b. Set specific end-point for therapy (where possible);
c. monitor drug concentration if possible;
d. monitor patients for early evidence or toxicity;
e. Review medication record in total on a regular basis to detect
possible adverse drug interactions.

ANAPHYLAXIS.
The leading cause : drugs; foods; insect stings; extracts
of allergens increased vascular permeability
loss of plasma depletion of intravascular
volume & tissue oedema.
Treatment : - antagonising the effects of chemical mediators;
- preventing further release of mediator;
- minimising exposure to the inciting agent.
Pharmacotherapy : - adrenaline
- 2-adrenoceptor agonist (salbutamol,
orciprenalin)
- antihistamines
- corticosteroids
- vasopressors ( noradrenaline, methoxamine)
methoxamine

BRAIN INJURY
-Head trauma
-Cerebrovascular disease
-Infection
-Anoxia (carbon monoxide poisoning)
-Global ischaemia (severe shock, post cardiac arrest)

- anti-edema therapy :
20 % manitol or 10 % glycerol
frusemid ( a diuretic )
